It is soooo good.<br /><br />kathy p - Thanks so much! And thank you especially for clearing up the whole dairy/non-dairy issue for me. Obviously, I am not up to speed on the nuances of kosher. It makes so much more sense to me now. :)Tara Barkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18166408630827421919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961911981963687228.post-61293560230454345632011-11-03T16:23:28.205-04:002011-11-03T16:23:28.205-04:00Tara- great post.

Among other things, kosher means not mixing milk &amp; meat. So if you were to make a dessert that is to be served after a meat meal (as most non vegetarian dinners are apt to be), then the desert would have to be dairy free (parve).kathy pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961911981963687228.post-80858590319964673022011-11-03T15:02:37.401-04:002011-11-03T15:02:37.401-04:00Just stumbled upon this post looking for something...Just stumbled upon this post looking for something else about Levana - so perfectly said Tara! I so need to make that chocolate pie! You should know Levana also has a really extensive blog filled with hundreds, if not thousands of recipes.

I too am constantly surprised by books that don&#39;t necessarily have that &quot;wow&quot; factor at first glance, but then are amazing.<br />And so nice to hear of a fellow chef that was brought up on tofu pie! My own mother used to make a carob-ripple cheesecake that used tofu and cottage cheese as the base! It was so yum. I still dream of making it again someday. I didn&#39;t taste chocolate cake made with actual cocoa until I was embarrassingly old! And I still have hot carob drinks in place of cocoa :-) LolEmma Gallowayhttp://mydarlinglemonthyme.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961911981963687228.post-69161143287787549352011-07-03T15:56:29.805-04:002011-07-03T15:56:29.805-04:00Anna - Thank you!Anna - Thank you!Tara Barkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18166408630827421919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961911981963687228.post-87519199597340256742011-06-29T12:14:35.105-04:002011-06-29T12:14:35.105-04:00This post is beautiful and so is the review.
